Instructions
- Prepare the Enchilada Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, vegetable broth, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, and let the sauce cook for about 10 minutes to thicken slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, red bell pepper, zucchini, and yellow squash, and sauté for another 5-6 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the black beans, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Assemble the Enchiladas: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread about 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. To assemble each enchilada, spoon a few tablespoons of the veggie and black bean mixture into the center of a tortilla. Sprinkle with a little cheese, then roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled enchiladas, making sure to cover them evenly. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top.
- Bake the Enchiladas: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, avocado slices, or any of your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Ensure the tortillas are not too moist before rolling them to avoid sogginess.
- You can make the enchilada sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
